SUMMARY:AUDITIONS: Inspecting Carol
DESCRIPTION:October 14th & 15th @ 6:30pm \nThe Matthews Opera House invites community members to audition for Inspecting Carol\, a hilarious holiday comedy that blends backstage drama with festive cheer. When a struggling theater troupe’s production of A Christmas Carol goes wildly off the rails\, expect miscast roles\, onstage mishaps\, and nonstop laughter. \nNo experience necessary! You will be asked to read with other participants from sections of the script previously selected by the directors. All auditions will be performed as a “cold read” (seeing the script for the first time). Auditions are also a great time to express your interest in backstage work\, set building\, lights and all of the other necessary skills that make a show great! Stop by if you have any interest in the action “behind the scenes” and visit with the directors.  \nInspecting Carol – Directed by Max Merchen\nInspecting Carol is a backstage holiday comedy by Daniel J. Sullivan that spoofs both A Christmas Carol and the frantic world of community theater. The play follows a struggling theater company preparing for their annual production of Dickens’ classic. Everything goes wrong: actors forget lines\, the set collapses\, egos clash\, and rehearsal spirals out of control. When the troupe mistakes a clueless wannabe actor for a feared National Endowment for the Arts inspector\, panic sets in\, and desperate attempts to impress lead to even more ridiculous disasters. Full of slapstick\, satire\, and seasonal spirit\, Inspecting Carol is a joyful romp that celebrates the magic (and madness) of live theater. \nPerformance Dates\nDecember 12\, 13\, 14\, 16\, 19\, 20\, 21 \n\nFridays & Saturdays • 7:00 pm\nSundays • 2:00 pm | Tuesday • 7:00 pm\n\nAvailable Roles\n\nZorah Bloch: Founding director of The Soapbox Playhouse.
